Please help, i have tried several things with this and it still wont work. It is the MultiFarm from forestry and mine is powered and all placed properly yet it is using fertilizer, not placing any soil or crops and says there is no fertilizer in it. I have re made the farm several times and it still says no fertilizer is being put inside even though it is using it up. Here are a few screenshots. I am playing on Big Dig from the Technic launcher btw.Sorry i dont know how to post a picture

I think the version is 1.5 not sure

Your screenshot appears to be broken because you linked your hard drive rather than uploading the image to an image hosting service. Upload your image to imgur and use that URL to show us the image.

Which type of farm are you using? Some place the dirt for you and some need you to place the dirt.

To properly post the image, you copy the URL it gives you and you put it in img tags like this:

[img]http://i.imgur.com/LAg9jSu.png[/img]

But, I've seen it already, so you don't need to do that now. Just use that for future reference. You could also click "upload a file" next to the "post reply" button on this forum.

Anyway, managed farm means that it places the soil for you, but you said that it's not doing that correctly. What are you powering it with? Could you take a picture of the farm without the interface open? Also please check this, this and this to ensure that you are properly setting it up.

I have done all of the set up correct yes, I am powering it with a combustion engine. When i first set it up I had the engine sending power through golden conductive pipes and I most recently tried having the engine powering the gearbox directly and it still says no fertilizer as you saw.

and here is the engine now:

how it was:

I would not recommend combustion engines to power the farm directly. They need a small but constant supply of power. The combustion engine is a slow large amount. It might work with combustion engines if you use a buffer like an energy cell from Thermal Expansion. Are you playing singleplayer? You could spawn a creative energy cell and attach it to the farm with conduits. If it works, your power source is inadequate.

I shall try the energy cell, and should this fix the problem of it saying there is no fertilizer eventhough there is?

I just tried with the energy cell and it is still consuming the fertilizer yet says there is none in there. Also one other thing is, that little bar next to fertilizer is meant to fill up is it not? Because mine isn't so im not sure if this is a problem

Yes, it is. You could try to change it to a manual farm and plant the dirt and crops yourself.

So make a new intricate circuit and put it in manual mode and have crop and vegetables on it, and still put the germlins in the mutilblock but place dirt myself?

Yes. You place the dirt and the first seeds, and it will replant automatically after that.

When you place the crops, make sure it matches this:

How do i know what way is N W S or E. Do i just make sure they are in the places like next to each other on the sides? Also do i need to place the water?[DOUBLEPOST=1402225969][/DOUBLEPOST]

Use F3 to see the direction. You don't need water.

Doublepost edit: I'm not sure about the source of the problem. Does it have the doublebanded stripe across the top of the side of the farm? You could watch this tutorial to guarantee you are properly configuring it.

Shall i remove the stone brick flooring or the dirt to go on and rebuild the multiblock and put the fertilizer in before i oplace the bricks for the land to go on like direwolf did?

Another thing i have noticed, is when i am supplying power after a short time the power will stop being transported to the farm sturcture[DOUBLEPOST=1402227671][/DOUBLEPOST]

according to the tutorial, the "No fertilizer" tab should change after about 5 seconds to "No farmland" but it doesnt for me and just starts using the fertilizer for nothing. Any ideas?

Okay, so I have an MFFS caclavia core forcefield setup. Is There any way in which I can make it invsible?

Want to build a needlessly complicated factory that takes lots of steps to produce one product. What should that product be?

Sorry, I'm not sure how to solve it. If you have followed the video precisely and it still doesn't work, perhaps you are still doing it wrong or the mod is installed/configured incorrectly. Another member might be able to answer.

Use the camouflage module.
